Pain perception and morbidity after peri-implant surgeries in patients with and without temporomandibular disorder - A clinical study.

Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) involves various conditions affecting the anatomy and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Hence, this study evaluated pain perception and morbidity after dental implant surgeries in patients with and without TMD.

Material And Methods: It is a prospective randomized clinical trial with 50 participants with and without TMD, randomly selected for rehabilitation procedures with dental implants.

[Antibiotic dispensing: 'Happy Patient' Project].

Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health threat that affects all countries in the world. As healthcare professionals who are experts in medicine, we must improve clinical practice in the dispensing of antibiotics and educate the patient about the correct form of administration to contribute to reducing the appearance of bacterial resistance. The 'Happy patient' project allows us to audit the usual practice of community pharmacies in dispensing antibiotics to find points of improvement.

Hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of Kunth in diabetic rats.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder commonly associated with atherosclerosis. Plants with therapeutic potential, such as Kunth, emerge as effective alternatives for treating these diseases. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the antihyperglycemic and antidyslipidemic potential of the hydroalcoholic extract of Kunth (ELo) in alloxan-diabetic rats.

Geopolymer Foam Reinforced with Iron Ore Flotation Tailing for Potassium Adsorption and Controlled Release in Water.

A geopolymer foam was synthesized for the evaluation of its capacity for fast retention and slow release of potassium in water. The base matrix of the geopolymer binder was obtained by mixing metakaolin, sodium silicate, and sodium hydroxide solutions. A factorial design of experiments (DOE) was applied to analyze the effect of adding hydrogen peroxide, aluminum powder, soybean oil, and iron ore flotation tailing on the water absorption and compressive strength of the geopolymer samples.

Body composition assessment of people with overweight/obesity with a simplified magnetic resonance imaging method.

To develop a simplified magnetic resonance imaging method (MRI) to assess total adipose tissue (AT) and adipose tissue free mass (ATFM) from three single MRI slices in people with overweight/obesity in order to implement body composition follow-up in a clinical research setting. Body composition of 310 participants (70 women and 240 men, age: 50.8 ± 10.
